Blimey! Whilst out on my freezing cold early morning walk just now, a badger sprinted out across the road in front of me, then turned to stare at me from the pavement opposite!

I wish you a very good day, badger!

And to you, #Mastodon friends... How are you feeling, right now?

A primary criticism I have of modern #therapy is: #Therapists don't tell you what the goals are.

So I'm thinking, "what are the goals of therapy?" And I'm reminded of McLuhan's "The Medium Is the Message" - the idea that HOW something is communicated can be more important than WHAT.

What, then, is the medium of therapy? To teach us #UnconditionalAcceptance of ourselves. To self-soothe. To model care for us until we learn to do it for ourselves. To teach us to become our own therapists.

Aha.

“Nature employs the mind without fatigue and yet enlivens it. Tranquilizes it and enlivens it. And thus, through the influences of the mind over body, gives the effect of refreshing rest and reinvigoration to the whole system.” https://greatergood.berkeley.edu/article/item/how_nature_helps_us_heal 🍃 #nature #mentalhealth

A doctor explains why he prescribes time outside to his patients.

@austincunningham Apparently, the evidence for Brigid the saint predates the evidence for Brigid the goddess. So it’s the pagans claiming her!

Born of a king and a slave and raised by a druid, Brigid integrates opposites and stands as the sister of all
